Title
Discussion of issues relating to relocating playground equipment.
Body
In FY 2017-18, playground equipment was approved in the budget process for the Adult Softball Complex and Spenceview Athletic Complex.
Due to unforeseen circumstances with the Spencerview Athletic Complex and the Adult Softball Complex, the Department is requesting to relocate playground equipment originally budgeted and purchased for these two locations to other parks that are in immediate need of playground equipment.
After further evaluation, the park at the Spencerview Athletic Complex will not be developed within this fiscal year due to the bridge project, grading issues, lighting inside the park and no available parking other than on the residential streets. At the Adult Softball Complex, it was determined there wasn’t enough space for the equipment purchased after installation of a new concession stand and storage facility.
In conclusion, the Department has determined that Big Bend and Monroe Parks should receive the playground equipment in the current fiscal year.
